This is a perfect place to stay in Ruidoso. This is a great value for money.Owners are very very nice. I would go there again.We stayed in 110 which is close to BBQ area, movie library, vending machine and extra wood for fireplace.The place is quite. TVs are small but after a day's activity, you don't really need a big tv. The best part is that the dishes are taken care of. We stayed there for 2 days and we cooked the whole time.

I would highly recommend this to couples or even to families.

So great to hear from great folks who enjoy what we do here. Sorry about the TV. We inherited 23 small TV's when we bought Shadow eight months ago, but are quickly getting 32" flat screens into every room. We look forward to seeing you back again!

First to say we really enjoyed our stay here and thought it great value for money. On arrival we were given a really informative and thorough overview of the area and restaurants by the lady owner. We're a couple and stayed in one of the 4 cabins. The cabin itself is one big square room divided into 4: sleeping area, lounge area with fire, bathroom and dining area. All beautifully decorated and perfect for a quiet getaway. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance: see my reviews for Ranchers and the Great Wall of China. My only disappointment was that the 4 cabins actually face each other so 2 X 2. This meant when we sat on our porch or opened our door we were looking straight into the other cabin. The whole area is wonderful and the deer and huming birds a delight to watch.

We are so glad that you enjoyed the cabin. Ruidoso is such a cozy community and the Upper Canyon even more so that our cabins were built to encourage guests to meet and mingle. However, we have recently started planting trees to afford the option of a little more privacy. We look forward to seeing you back again and thanks for the feedback!

Highly recommend this Lodge no matter what the purpose is of your visit to Ruidoso; the room was clean, relaxing and had every amenity needed, the fireplace in the room was an added bonus! The location of the lodge is perfect, not on the main road so it's very quiet, yet close enough to walk to local stores and restuarants. We plan on returning as soon as possible! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to stay!!!

This is the best place to stay in ruidoso for couples! It is off the beat & path (not on main road through town) & the owners have thought of everything; the room is homey and has every amenity you will need. You can sit on front porch & watch the deer; they are quite abundant. If you want a nice, quiet, & peaceful stay, then this is the place plus more. Beds are super comfortable and lush! I will be returning & recommending this lodge/cabins to anyone & everyone. I stayed here over 15 years ago & will say this time is even better.. Also, feel free to bring your pet, they will provide sheets to put over bed & couch plus oversized towel for wiping their feet.... A+++++++..... Stay here for sure!!!!!

We came to Shadow Mountain for our honeymoon. The cabin was beautiful and secluded. The landscaping was pretty. We enjoyed watching the deer each day. We took advantage of the bbq to cook steaks and enjoyed the hot tub. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a very romantic getaway at one of the cabins on the property. It was warm, cozy and had all the amenities, including a two person jacuzzi tub! Chuck and Marilyn was gracious hosts, but we never had to contact them because everything we needed was already in the cabin. We would definitely recommend Shadow Mountain Lodge as the best place to stay in Ruidoso, New Mexico!
